Why Installers Should Choose Trex Decking Over Other Composite Options
For garden decking installers, selecting the right materials is crucial for ensuring the longevity and satisfaction of your projects. Trex decking offers numerous advantages over other composite decking profiles, especially when compared to hollow core options. Here’s why Trex should be your go-to choice for decking installations.
1. Unmatched Durability and Strength
Robust Solid Core Construction: Unlike hollow core decking, which can be prone to damage and lacks structural integrity, Trex decking features a dense, solid construction that ensures long-lasting durability and stability. Trex boards resist warping, staining, fading, and cracking, making them a dependable choice for any decking project.
2. Superior Aesthetics and Finish
High-Quality Appearance: Trex decking comes in a variety of high-definition wood grain patterns and rich, saturated colours that mimic the natural beauty of traditional wood. The superior aesthetics of Trex decking are maintained over time, unlike hollow core decking, which can look more artificial and is more likely to suffer from colour fading.
3. Enhanced Safety Features
Splinter-Free and Slip-Resistant: Safety is paramount in any decking installation. Trex decking provides a splinter-free surface, making it safe for bare feet and children to play on. Additionally, many Trex products feature high slip-resistance, which is particularly important in the UK’s often wet environment.
4. Ease of Installation
Hassle-Free Fitting: Trex decking is designed with installers in mind. The boards come with grooved edges compatible with hidden fastening systems, which allow for a clean and seamless install without the visible screws that are often necessary with hollow core decking.
5. Sustainability
Eco-Friendly Materials: Trex decking is made from 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and plastic. Choosing Trex not only helps reduce waste but also supports sustainable construction practices, a growing concern among homeowners and industry professionals alike.
6. Comprehensive Warranties
Long-Term Peace of Mind: Trex offers some of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry with up to a 50-year Limited Residential Warranty. This is far superior to the protection typically offered by manufacturers of hollow core decking.
For garden decking installers, the choice of material can significantly impact the success and longevity of your projects. Trex decking provides a myriad of benefits that hollow core and other composite decking options simply cannot match, from durability and aesthetics to safety and ease of installation. By choosing Trex, you ensure your projects not only stand out for their beauty but also for their quality and longevity.
